CRONULLA HIGH SCHOOL PRELIMINARY COURSE 2017

This booklet is designed to help you plan for the school assessment part of your Preliminary Course

Certificate. It informs you of all the tasks due, the date and the weighting of each task.

It is important to remember:

School assessment marks are a significant indicator that you are satisfactorily completing the

Preliminary Course.

All assessments must be completed as they fall due. Missed assessments usually attract a Zero

mark unless a genuine case of illness and/or misadventure is demonstrated.

It is also important to understand the legal umbrella covering the award of a Preliminary Course

Certificate as set out below.

A student will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if there is sufficient evidence

that the student has:

(a) followed the course developed or endorsed by the BOSTES; and

(b) applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided

in the course by the school;

(c) achieved some or all of the course outcomes.

Principals may determine that, as a result of absence, the course completion criteria may not have

been met. Clearly, absences will be regarded seriously as accumulated absences can lead to problems demonstrating achievement of course outcomes and of demonstrating sustained effort.

This means that you must complete both assessable and non-assessable tasks as well as have a

satisfactory rate of attendance (usually regarded as 85% or better) to be eligible for the Principal's

certification and the award of an Preliminary Certificate.

Eligible students will be issued with an A-E grade that reflects levels of achievement indicated

by course performance descriptors. A-E grades will be determined by a combination of formal assessment tasks and informal teacher assessment of learning.

To guide you and your parents, warning letters will be issued if your progress is not adequate; your

work is of a poor standard; you don't work in class or do home assignments; you don't make a

serious attempt in examinations or assessment tasks; or you are absent too often. The warning letter

is a reminder that your education is your responsibility, and gives you a chance to resolve the

problem before it is too late.

The school offers students access to professional advice from teachers, Student Advisers, the

Careers Adviser, School Counsellor and the school’s executive staff. If you are experiencing

difficulties with meeting the responsibilities of your courses, seek the advice of one of these experts.

Senior schooling, the Preliminary Course and indeed the HSC Course can be rewarding experiences.

Your personal best is what we expect in all that you do. A satisfying HSC awaits you if you are

prepared to give it the commitment it requires. Before that can be started however a Preliminary

Course Certificate needs to be achieved. This credential is not a right. It is earned.

THE PRELIMINARY CERTIFICATE

The Preliminary Certificate is prerequisite for entry into an HSC Course. In order to achieve an

HSC, students will be required to satisfactorily complete a minimum of:

12 units of Preliminary courses and

10 units of Higher School Certificate courses

Both your Preliminary course pattern and your HSC course pattern must include:

at least 6 units of BOSTES Developed courses

at least 2 units of a BOSTES Developed course in English

at least three courses of 2 units value (or greater)

at least 4 subjects

No more than 6 units of courses in Science can contribute to Higher School Certificate eligibility.

In addition to the above requirements, students seeking to achieve both a Preliminary and a Higher

School Certificate at Cronulla High School are expected to:

Have a satisfactory record of attendance and application in each course.

Participate in experiences, which are integral requirements of each syllabus e.g. assignments,

practical work, field work, shared experiences in group work, work placement etc.

Complete the requirements of each course including practical, oral or project works.

Make a genuine attempt at each assessment task, including BOSTES examinations.

Your teachers and head teachers will assist you by:

Providing written notice of:

- assessment components and weightings

- the nature of each assessment task including assessment criteria

- the timing of each task (2 weeks notice in writing)

- the mark value of each task

- the school policy for valid absences/lateness

Providing feedback after each task of what you did well and what you can do to improve

Verifying assessment work that is completed outside the school

Sending warning letters to students in danger of not satisfactorily completing a course

Providing marking guidelines for each assessment item.

You need to ensure that you:

Attend all lessons timetabled on the day of a task. Failure to do so will result in a loss of 20%

of maximum assessment mark

Submit all assessment tasks on time (a task is deemed late if the task is not handed in at the

time specified on the assessment notice sheet) eg: The teachers will specify before school or

in lesson time

Submit only your own, original work

Anticipate technology failure and regularly back up your work onto external discs.

Technology failure is not grounds for a misadventure appeal.

In examinations or in-class tasks obey the instructions of staff and of the examination room.

Note that vocational courses have continuous assessment of course competencies. The teacher at

school or in the work place may assess these formally or informally. Students may have formal

examinations in particular courses (see assessment schedules in this booklet). Many of the

competencies will be assessed in a practical manner with students demonstrating that they have a

particular skill or knowledge.

A compulsory element of assessment in vocational courses is the satisfactory completion of a work

placement in a relevant industry.

ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES IN YEAR 11

When will I be assessed?

Assessment will commence from the beginning of Term 1 in Year 11 and all formal assessment

tasks will conclude with the yearly exam – usually by the end of Term 3 week 8.

You will be given a program of dates to be followed, which will outline the approximate dates

when formal assessment tasks are due.

At least 10 school days notice will be given of the specific date that a formal assessable task is

to be either handed in for marking or will take place.

Where there is sufficient reason for the school to change the assessment date,

students will be given reasonable notice of the revised date (at least 10 school days).

How many tasks and when will I be asked to do them?

In any 2-unit course you will be assigned a maximum of six formal tasks, including the major exams,

which may also be assessment tasks. In any 1-unit course you will be assigned a maximum of four

formal tasks, including the major exams, which may also be assessment tasks. (The number of tasks

will vary depending on the subject) Students need to expect that during some weeks you will be

asked to complete more than one formal assessment task.

To whom and when do I submit my formal assessment task?

Your class teacher, at a time designated by the class teacher on or before the day the task is due.

If your teacher is away that day, you must submit it to the Head Teacher of that subject. You must

only hand in the tasks/assignments to your Class teacher or Head Teacher of the relevant

faculty. If for any reason both are absent on the day then the task is to be submitted to a Deputy

Principal.

What happens if I am absent when the formal assessment task is set?

It is your responsibility to find out if a task has been set during your absence. No variation to

the due date will apply to students who were away on the date the assignment was set. If a

student feels that this rule has unfairly disadvantaged them, they may lodge an Illness or Misadventure

claim form seeking a concession to the due date, or a concession to the marks awarded for the task.

The Illness or Misadventure claim form must be submitted to the Head Teacher within 3 school days

of the date the task falls due or within 3 school days from when the student first returns to school. In

the event the Head Teacher is absent, the form must be submitted to the front office for placement

in the Head Teacher’s pigeon hole.

What if I do not complete formal assessment tasks?

The school expects that all students will complete all assessment tasks and that they will

complete them on time. Where this does not happen the student should advise the class teacher

and Head Teacher as a matter of urgency.

If an assessment task is not submitted by the due date and stated time without a justifiable

reason and without completion of appropriate illness and misadventure procedures then

students can anticipate zero marks will be awarded for that task.

5

If circumstances exist where the student feels they have been unfairly disadvantaged in some way by

this rule they may appeal by submitting an Illness or Misadventure Claim form.

Where a student fails to make a serious attempt at an assessment task, a ZERO mark toward the

examination or the assessment will recorded for that task and an “N” determination issued in

respect of that task.

Do I only have to complete formal assessment tasks?

No. You will earn an “N” determination (unsatisfactory application) in a subject if the school

determines that you have not met the requirements of the Board of Studies shown on page 2 or of

the syllabus because you have not satisfactorily attempted various class assignments, been sufficiently

involved in practical work or participated in class learning activities.

All work set in a subject is part of the Preliminary Course curriculum regardless of

whether it is assessable or not.

What happens if I am absent when a formal assessment task is on or due?

The school must be contacted on the day of the task (Ph: 9523 4017) to inform the subject teacher

of the student’s absence. Any student who is absent without a reason acceptable to the relevant

Head Teacher will be given zero for that task. If the absence was unavoidable and the student

believes that they should still receive credit for the assessment task then they should submit an

Illness or Misadventure Claim form, with supporting evidence. A general note from home is

unlikely to be considered sufficient. For an illness a medical certificate is required. For misadventure,

evidence of the misadventure that prevented attendance is required.

In the case of a prolonged unavoidable absence, where an illness or misadventure claim is upheld, a

substitute task may need to be set to ensure fairness to all concerned.

Where a student has prior knowledge of an absence (e.g. due to a family holiday, scheduled

medical reasons, or work placement for a VET subject), the student must submit a written

application (Illness or Misadventure form) before the absence, to the Head Teacher of the

relevant subject. It is not automatic that any concession will be given. Each application will be judged

entirely on its own merit. A substitute assessment task may be arranged.

It is expected that students will attend all timetabled lessons on the day of a formal assessment task

whether it be an in class task or a hand in task. Where a student is absent during periods prior to

the task and on the same day as the task, a 20% penalty of the maximum task marks available will be

applied to marks received.

Any student arriving to school late on the day of the task will be considered to be seeking to gain an

unfair advantage and in the absence of substantiated and justified reasons, a 20% penalty of the

maximum task marks available will be imposed. Additional time will not be granted where part of the

task is missed for late arrival unless the Head Teacher is satisfied exceptional circumstances exist.

A student who truants from a class while at school on the day an assessment task is being undertaken

or submitted will be considered in the same manner. Any student found to be preparing for an

assessment task in another class while at school on the day an assessment task is being undertaken or

submitted will also be considered to have engaged in malpractice and a 20% penalty of the maximum

task marks available will be imposed.

If a student is absent from school on the due date of a formal assessment task because of a legitimate

school activity (e.g. a sporting excursion, work placement) the student must first notify the relevant

Head Teacher and in the case of a hand in task negotiate an appropriate time for submission of the

6

task before the student attends the event. In the case of an in class task, arrangements for the

completion of the task must be made with the relevant Head Teacher before attending the event.

If a student believes the marks they are awarded for a particular task are incorrect they should, in the

first instance, review their performance against the marking criteria and discuss the result with their

teacher. The teacher may alter the mark up or down if on reflection they believe they have erred.

The marks given for individual assessment tasks awarded by teachers are not subject to external

review. The results of assessment tasks can only be appealed within five working days of the marks

being available to students. Any appeal must be directed in writing in the first instance to the class

teacher. If dissatisfied with the result of the appeal a student may then appeal to the Head Teacher of

the subject concerned. The Head Teacher’s judgement will be final.

If circumstances exist where the student feels they have been unfairly disadvantaged in some way by

these rules they may appeal to the Principal in writing. Students can expect to sit for such an ‘in class’

assessment task on their first timetabled lesson back, or at a time negotiated between the class

teacher and the student.

Technology Problems

Computer, printer or disk malfunction (loss of data) needs to be safeguarded by you through backing

up, emailing work to yourself, print outs, multiple electronic copies or paper drafts. Computer,

printer or disk malfunction (loss of data) is not grounds for misadventure.

Where a student has failed to complete a formal assessment task, made a non-serious

attempt at an assessment task and/or incurred any loss of marks due to late

submitting of the task, a Course Warning letter will be sent home by the class teacher.

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

Plagiarism is a form of theft. Plagiarism is the taking or imitation of another person’s ideas and

manner of expressing them and presenting them as one’s own. That is, plagiarism is copying other

people’s work or taking another’s ideas and using them without appropriate acknowledgement.

What is NOT acceptable

Copying parts (phrases, sentences, paragraphs etc) out of books, short stories, newspapers,

encyclopaedias, Internet sites, and other students’ work.

Using other people’s ideas without correct acknowledgement (see below).

Quoting without providing acknowledgement (see below).

Submitting work that has been written by someone else, such as a tutor, parent or friend, or

which has had more than reasonable input from someone else.

What IS acceptable

Using published texts – short stories, essays, poems, and media items etc – as MODELS for your

own writing. A model shows you the structure and type of language that is appropriate for a

particular form of writing. You make use of the model to show you HOW something is done; the

content and expression must be your own.

Borrowing ideas for creative writing – you must acknowledge your source which has inspired you.

This is often what writers do at the beginning of novels to show where their inspiration came

from.

7

Editing assistance – all good writers have good editors who suggest ways of making their writing

better. This advice can be about ideas, expression, structure etc. However, an editor does NOT

make these changes – the writer does if he or she agrees with them. You are welcome to use

parents, friends, teachers as editors to ADVISE you but they must NOT do the work for you.

How do I avoid it?

Always cite the following; Internet and CD ROMs, Magazines and Newspapers, Books, Music, TV

programs and films, Interviews, Maps, Summaries, other student’s work, other people’s ideas.

You must include a list of resources used in research assignments, essays etc. The bibliography

appears at the end of the essay or assignment. List sources in alphabetical order according to the

author’s last name. Use a bibliography sheet to write down all sources as you research. An example

of the sheet is on page 12 of this booklet and is also available on the Cronulla High School Intranet

site.

Example of a Bibliography entry: Marsden, John. Tomorrow When the War Began, Melbourne:

Penguin, 1995.

Book titles can be underlined or italicized. For the purposes of a hand-written exam response, it is

important to underline a book title. Titles of poems, media items, short stories, journal articles, and

other shorter texts, are usually italicized or placed in inverted commas.

How do I prevent it? – Use a Bibliography

How do I acknowledge quotations and ideas in my work?

Quotations must have “quotation marks”1[1] around them and a footnote (a number should appear

straight after the quotation) which states where the quotation came from.

At times it is necessary to acknowledge an author’s quote in your own essay without a footnote.

This situation would occur during exam essays. In this situation you must use quotation marks

around the quote or idea and immediately follow with the surname and year of the source and if

possible, a page number.eg. ….a “positive school environment” (Jarvis 2004, p1)

When you use someone else’s idea or borrow a form of expression, insert a footnote in the same

way as for a quotation. You must acknowledge ideas even if you do not copy the idea word for word.

If you relied heavily on a particular critic for your interpretation of a text you must say so in a

footnote, for example1[2] (see below).

Examples of footnoting: 1[1] John Marsden, Tomorrow When the War Began, Melbourne:

Penguin, 1995, p’51[2] I am indebted to Fred Nerks for my understanding of this poem. See Nerks,

Fred, Poetry for Humans, Sydney: Longmans, 1999.

What happens if I plagiarise in an Assessment Task?

Penalties for plagiarism will depend on the amount of plagiarised material contained within the task.

For example, if an entire essay has been plagiarised then zero will be awarded for that task. However,

if only a certain section of the task has been plagiarised then only that part of the task will get zero.

You will be only marked on the work that is your own and not taken from someone else. For

example, if it is proven that you have plagiarised 50% of a task then you will only be marked on the

50% that you did yourself.

8

WHAT IS MALPRACTICE?

Any failure to comply with the rules as set out in this policy or of the Board of Studies will be judged

to be malpractice.

If you are found to have engaged in malpractice you will be awarded a zero.

Examples of malpractice include:

Copying someone else’s work in part or in whole, and presenting it as your own

Using material directly from books, journals, CDs or the internet without reference to the

source. Refer to the appendix for more information.

Building on the ideas of another person without reference to the source

Buying, stealing or borrowing another person’s work and presenting it as your own

Submitting work to which another person such as a parent, coach or subject expert has

contributed substantially

Using words, ideas, designs or the workmanship of others in practical and performance tasks

without appropriate acknowledgement

Paying someone to write or prepare material

Breaching school examination rules

Using non-approved aides during an assessment task

Contriving false explanations to explain work not handed in by the due date

Assisting another student to engage in malpractice eg notifying them of details of common tasks

In the event that the school becomes aware of an allegation of malpractice the school’s examination

review panel will convene to review the allegations. In its deliberations this panel will ensure that all

policies of the Department of Education and Communities and of the Board of Studies in handling

such issues are followed and that procedural fairness is accorded to the student at all times.

Following recommendations from the ICAC, commencing the beginning of Term 4 2015 the Board of

Studies has decided to implement a Register of Malpractice in HSC Assessment tasks. Proven cases of

malpractice are to be reported by schools and will be registered with the Board of Studies.

9

ILLNESS OR MISADVENTURE PROCEDURES

ILLNESS OR MISADVENTURE CLAIM PROCEDURES

Collect and complete an “Illness or Misadventure Claim” form from the front office and submit

it to the Head Teacher of the subject concerned.

Forms are also available online on the school’s website. For an in class task students may be

required to sit for the task on their first day back at school, or at a time that has been

previously arranged with the class teacher.

Any claim due to:

1. Illness should be supported by a medical certificate (failure to provide a doctor’s

certificate may result in rejection of the claim) and submitted within 3 school days of

when the student first returns to school. The school should be contacted on or prior to

the date of the task so the relevant Head Teacher can be informed. The medical certificate

should specifically relate to the task and how the students’ performance has or will be affected.

2. Misadventure must be supported by appropriate and detailed documentation in

support of the claim.

N-determination letters will be sent out if the above illness and misadventure claim

procedures have not been followed.

Any claim against a zero mark or procedural arrangements associated with an assessment task

must be completed within three school days of the return of the task.

Appeals must be submitted to the Head Teacher of the KLA concerned. The Principal, or

nominee, will co-ordinate a committee to consider all aspects of the appeal.

If an appeal is upheld, the committee may determine that an alternate task be sat or may authorise the use of an estimate based on other appropriate evidence.

Any dissatisfaction with the process should be referred to the Principal.

In exceptional circumstances where the completion of a substitute task is not reasonably

possible, the Principal in consultation with the teacher and relevant Head Teacher may authorise the

use of an estimate mark. The estimate mark will be based on other appropriate evidence.

The Head Teacher must notify the student and class teacher of the outcome when an

illness and misadventure form is presented for due consideration.

TECHNOLOGICAL FAILURE

Computer/printer/storage device failure is not an excuse for inability to complete tasks by the due

date. It is the student’s responsibility to back-up and keep a hard copy of any work in progress. This

can be called upon for marking.

Good Advice to all students – implement a buddy system

It is important that you “buddy-up” with one or more students so that any time you are absent

from school, your “Buddy” collects any handouts or assignments for you. Whilst many teachers

will do so out of good will, it is not the teacher’s responsibility to contact you after your

absence. It is your responsibility to pursue any missed work, handouts or assignments

PRINCIPAL’S CERTIFICATION OF COURSE REQUIREMENTS

To complete a course satisfactorily you must fulfil all requirements of the syllabus, eg

assignments, practical work, participation in class.

Students are also required to show due diligence in completion of both assessable and non-

assessable tasks, which form the assessment for their particular course. This may include

assignments, practical work and participation in class.

You will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if, in the Principal’s view, there

is sufficient evidence that you have:

Followed the course developed or endorsed by the Board of Studies; and applied

yourself with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in

the course by the school; and achieved some or all of the course outcomes.

If the Principal determines that the above course completion criteria have not been met, you will

be given written warning in sufficient time to correct any problems regarding your satisfactory

completion of course requirements, these letters are called ‘N’ determination warning letters. A

student who has not complied with above requirements cannot be regarded as having

satisfactorily completed the course. The Principal will then deem that the student has not met

the requirements for that course.

If you receive three ‘N’ determination warning letters in a course you will be deemed to have

not met requirements of the course unless the tasks are redeemed. It is imperative that you

redeem yourself of these ‘N’ determination letters by completing the work requested.

If the outstanding work to be completed is an assessment task, the N determination will

be redeemed but the assessment mark will be zero.

You have the right to appeal to the school and then the Board against the Principal’s

determination. The Principal will advise you of this right and explain the appeal process.

Where it is determined that you have not satisfactorily completed a course, you will receive no

results in that course. Until you receive results in a minimum of 12 Preliminary Course units and

10 HSC course units you will not be eligible for the award of a Higher School Certificate. Where

any such non-completion of course determination in a Preliminary course is given to a student

they will not be able to proceed to the HSC course in that subject without repeating the entire

preliminary course in that subject.

A to E reporting grades commenced in the Preliminary Course in 2013.

These grades will be based upon student achievement measured against

course performance descriptors.
